Is Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA Still Great?

[@eric41996]

The last 2 eps of this series have been bangers. Gotta do Swami’s next

[@jsenigaglia]

I’ll see if I can find a super fresh stovepipe can 👊🏼

[@707gomez]

You, sir, are crushable. Also, still one of my top five beers.

[@jsenigaglia]

You’re one of my top five people. Also - finally a whisky video this Wednesday 😃

[@alejandroramirez4470]

That's a fair price for a tall one. Before I really checked out the hop bill for beers, I liked fresh squeezed immediately. Up until then, I remember I didn't have an IPA I wanted to drink again. So this singlehandedly lead me to try more IPA.

[@jsenigaglia]

Such a great beer!

[@grahamelle297]

Liking seeing all these old school beers getting reviewed again . Stone just put our Imperial Stout if u get a chance to grab a can please review it - Cheers Joe !

[@jsenigaglia]

Speaking of - I just found a bottle of 2007 Stone RIS 😳😂🍻

[@olivertrumanjr9556]

My first favorite IPA

[@jsenigaglia]

Yessss! 👊🏼🍻

[@steveh4114]

Crushable !? Good review. I'm glad you still enjoy. I like most things from Deschutes brewing. If there is a resurgence of West Coast IPA's, I'm all for that ! Have also enjoyed the resurgence of Lagers and Pilsners. 😀

[@jsenigaglia]

Aside from KZbin stuff I mostly drink lagers these days. Its all I want.

[@bw5043]

It's so good and one of my favorite IPAs. It's not too strong either.

[@jsenigaglia]

I love that so many others love this beer 🍻

[@squatchybrewdude5281]

This used to be my favorite beer also that I still drink from time to time. One of my favorite economical IPAs since it’s usually like $10.99 a six and still a solid IPA for the price. Cheers 🍻

[@jsenigaglia]

I'm gonna start keeping six packs of these in the fridge again :)

[@averagejoe716]

It's wild that we just started getting Deschutes distro earlier this year in NY state because I've been drinking and grabbing their stuff since like 2014 because they distro'd to Pennsylvania and Ohio. I've always found this to be really good, but I never loved it. That said, Black Butte Porter = one of the best American Porters. Plus, a lot of their old school barrel-aged beers are still delicious. Love me some Deschutes! Awesome to see you reviewing some of these classic beers and still enjoying them. Nice review, Yoseph. Cheers, brother!

[@jsenigaglia]

Dude, is Black Butte still around? Also, I think I’ve got like a 2015 Abyss upstairs lol. Forgot all about that beer. I need some Mirror Pond in my life 😬. Cheers bubba.

[@averagejoe716]

Oh, it's still around ... and it's glorious! I'm gonna need you to review that 2015 Abyss, sir. For science!

[@deanzaZZR]

I can remember chasing this stuff when it first came out. I now find it a bit on the sweet so I will pick up a stovepipe on rare occasion. Fresh Squeezed is still great.

[@jsenigaglia]

Those days are so fun to look back on 🍻

[@miker1271]

What’s up Joe? Fun review! People up here in the twin cities love them some deschutes. We get Pizza Port distro up here. Which is both shocking & awesome. Cheer bud!

[@jsenigaglia]

Dude that’s rad! How fresh is the Pizza Port typically? I just had Swamis recently and it’s still a banger 🔥

[@jonathanabbott8579]

Not alot of Deschutes out this way. I have been indulging in Cigar City Jai Alai in the "bomber" format. Very good! Maybe a bit different, but another classic readily available. Cheers Joe!

[@jsenigaglia]

I think Jai Alai was like my 3rd video ever? I need to revisit it!

[@RaulManjarrez]

I just picked up a 6 pack at my Total Wine in Albuquerque for $12.49. This is a great beer that I've had many times over the years.

[@jsenigaglia]

Yessir!! 🔥

[@petemcmahon2792]

In old days they had fresh hop light color with Oregon water and it was FIRE just like Rogue Hop series or Yellow Snow

[@jsenigaglia]

Do you remember when that was? My oldest pic of Fresh Squeezed was 2014 and the color looks like this in the video. I would have loved to try the one you’re talking about 🔥

[@bradenwebb7307]

Fresh Squeezed is sort of a standard IPA around here (ND/MN). If a bar has an IPA, they very likely have this. Can’t complain, I get it pretty often and it’s always damn good.

[@jsenigaglia]

Glad you're a fan of this one too :)

[@diamonbacks47]

I used to love fresh squeezed, until the guy at the Whole Foods turned me on to red chair. The deschutes red chair was incredible the first time I had it, and years later tried it for a second time and thought they changed the recipe or something.

[@deanzaZZR]

@@diamonbacks47 Red Chair NWPA is one of my favorite seasonals out there. I find the malt bill trad English tasting which is hard to find these days.

[@jsenigaglia]

Man, I forgot all about Red Chair! Is it still around?

[@deanzaZZR]

@@jsenigaglia It's a spring seasonal. I pick up a couple of sixers every year. I am a bit nervous this year as it did not seem to move at all last year.

[@rjq3987]

Distro’d to NJ about a few years ago, unfortunately no one really knew what Fresh Squeezed was so it sat on shelves for months and months and now years so never get it cause its all old but when I had it fresh it was delicious!

[@jsenigaglia]

Man, I wish you could get it fresh these days to revisit it 🍻

[@dane5896]

🍻🍻🍻

[@WesleyHudson-sk4ev]

🍻

[@jsenigaglia]

👊🏼🍻

[@hays170159]

would love to see you revisit Cigar City Jai Alai and Wicked Weed Pernicious as well.

[@jsenigaglia]

I think I can get Jai Alai but I don’t think we get any WW out here. I’ll double check 🍻

[@DannyDrummer-q7f]

Last time?..wow..like you maybe 10 years. I grew away having it to warm from the tap to many times. Torpedo warmer is ok but FS wasnt happening. Once im gone i never look to come back. 😢

[@jsenigaglia]

There was one brewery local years ago that we went to and I swear their beer was being served warm. It was awful. Only time I’ve experienced that 🍻

[@DannyDrummer-q7f]

Over 10 years ago this ipa dethroned Sierras Torpedo as my go to ipa. Mysteriously my taste shifted and dont know why i was crazy about it. This rarely happens but certainly did with fresh squeeze. Odd.

[@jsenigaglia]

It happens! When was the last time you had Fresh Squeezed? Maybe you’d like it again now? Or was that recent you discovered you didn’t like it much anymore?

[@Archdukecollins]

I think fresh squeezed is the best beer you can get at a grocery store year round

[@jsenigaglia]

I think I’d agree with that. Also - have you had Jai Alai recently?

[@Archdukecollins]

@ yeah it’s pretty good
